CUTTING AND PASTINGIDEVICE FOR CIGAR-WRAPPING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 701,388, dated June 3, 1902.

Application filed April 24, 1901.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMANUEL Piske, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Cutting and Fasting Devices for Cigar- Wrapping Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a cutter and paste-applying device for use on machines for putting the wrappers on cigars.

In the drawings forming part of this specication, Figure l is a side elevation of a portion of a cigar-machine, showing the header, thimble, and the cutter and paste-applying devices, certain of the parts being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a view taken at right angles to Fig. l. Figs.l 3 and 4 are diagrams illustrating the method of cutting or slitting the wrapper.

A is the paste-receptacle, which may be of any desired construction. As here shown, it comprises a main receptacle having therein a plunger or piston B, which on its downwardmotion will cause a certain predetermined amount of paste to pass through the nozzle C and be applied to the wrapper, which is at that time upon the table of the machine. These pasting devices may be attached to the framework of the machine in any desired manner.

Supported above the paste-receptacle is a shaft D. To one end of this shaft is attached a lever-arm E. Connected with this leversarln is one end of alinkF,the other end beingattached to the lever G, which is pivoted to the frame of the machine. About midway of the shaft D is attached another lever-arm I-I, which Iis connected by a link I with the piston B of the pasting device. At the other end of the shaft is pivoted a lever-arm K, which is connected by a link L and a slide M, which optoits lower end the cutting-knife N. This cutting-knife N is composed of a blade having two parts at angles to each other, so that the resultant cut will be of substantially the shape shown in Fig. 3.

The operation of the device is as follows: In the process of wrapping the cigar when Serial No. 57,206. (No model.)

the point is reached at which the head is to be formed or wrapped it is necessary to cut the wrapper in order that it may roll and iit smoothly, around the head or pointed end of the cigar. This has heretofore been done by an ordinary blade making a single out; but with my device the cut will be made an angular one, as indicated in Fig. 3, the result being that in the operation of the machine the leaf can be spread out, as indicated in Fig. il, whereby I am enabled to produce a smooth, even, and well-formed head.

The knife is made to operate by pressing on the lever G, which bythe described mechanism brings the knife down upon the leaf, which is at that time upon the table of the machine. The same motion of the lever G moves down the piston B, whereby a certain predetermined amount of paste is applied to the wrapper, and it will be noted that the po sition of the parts is such that this paste is applied at a point beyond the cutin the leaf, or, in other words, at the extreme end of the wrapper, instead of, as is now usually the case, being applied to practically a 'large area of that portion of that leaf which incases the head, so that the action of this device is practically that of the hand-maker, both as to the cutting and as to the applying of the paste.

In Fig. 3 is indicated by a dotted curve the point at which the paste is applied. What I term the end of the wrapperis indicated by x, Fig. 3.

It Will be obvious that many changes may be made in the construction of various parts of this device Without departing from my invention. It will also be obvious that the precise angle between the two parts of the knife may be varied to suit thev exigencies of the particular case.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a cigar-rolling machine, the combination of a knife for slitting the end of the Wrapper, means for operating the sameand means for applying the paste to the Wrapper between the slit and the end of the wrapper, substantially as described.

2. In a cigar-rolling machine, the combination of a knife for slitting the end of the wrap- IOO Wrapper at a single operation, substantially per, means for operating the same, and means as described.

whereby the action of the cutter will automatically cause the paste t0 be applied to the Wrapper between the slit and the end of the I EMANUEL PISKO' 5 Wrapper, substantially as described. Vtnesses:

3. Inacgar-rolling machine,means for pro- J. ROSENBAUM,
